Avocado Carrier Oil

Dating back thousands of years, the avocado tree was cultivated as a food source in Mexico and Central and South America. The oil is extracted with a process called "cold pressing" which is a chemical-free way to expel the oil from the fruit and compress the pulp into a carrier oil. Because its high in oleic acid, it promotes collagen production, which helps grow new skin, helping with issues like sunburn and athlete’s foot. Avocado oil contains a high percentage of Vitamin E, as well as potassium, lecithin, and many other nutrients which accelerates the healing process by nourishing and moisturising the skin. This means that it can be combined with other essential oils so that the nutrients from those oils can be delivered to the skin and be absorbed more effectively. The antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents in avocado oil help the skin stay smooth, strong, and elastic.

Cold pressed avocado oil has an extremely high skin penetration and is used as a carrier oil to dilute essential oils in the Athlete’s Foot and Sunburn massage oil blend treatment at Oriental Massage Galway (OMG).
